Chapter 91 The dormitory manager and the elevator "↑" button
"Woo...Woo...Woo...?!" Lin Yi quickly noticed that they were not phantoms, but something real.
They were crawling like spiders in the corridor of the dormitory building. They were obviously crawling on the ground, but they gave him a sense of déjà vu as he was climbing a rock hard.
These things seem to be cold corpses shrouded in forest-white mist. They present a stiff body and blue-grey skin. They look like the sculptures in the stalactite cave stone passages, but their shapes are more like inhuman classmates.
Lin Yi understood something at once. If the two layers really seeped and fell, then for him, what was currently a corridor would be a steep mountain wall perpendicular to the sea level for those non-human units.
That’s why they climb so hard!
The layers of the two worlds seem to have occurred in a twisted way and entered a certain "superposition state".
For Lin Yi, these things are like virtual images, and for them, it is still unknown whether Lin Yi exists or not.
In the misty world, on the steep and slippery rock walls, the inhuman units were like zombies, desperately climbing towards the top of the cliff...
Lin Yi was not sure whether what he saw was what Mao Feiyang saw, or whether what he felt was what Mao Feiyang felt, but one thing he was sure of was that what Mao Feiyang felt would definitely be fed back to him.
Hence, he felt a sense of horror of being trapped in a quagmire.
He discovered that there were endless white powder particles floating in the forest-white mist, and these white powder particles were pouring into Mao Feiyang's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is like throwing a sponge into a dye vat, and in a blink of an eye the sponge is dyed the color of the vat.
Mao Feiyang was almost powerless to eat the pollution... and his own mental state was not able to react to these things at all.
As the pollution intensified, Mao Feiyang suddenly attracted the attention of all non-human units around him like an open flame in the dark night.
These countless lost souls, as if they suddenly discovered the most delicious food in the world, turned their direction and looked at where Mao Feiyang was.
Under the thick fog, a pair of cold golden eyes revealed unabashed greed and desire, as if they were peering from hell.
They uttered obscure and low syllables, communicating primitive signals with pronunciations that were completely out of this world, and then swarmed towards Mao Feiyang.
Just when Mao Feiyang was about to be swallowed up, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the mist.
Lin Yi was suddenly startled and couldn't help but look in the direction of the light beam.
"Da... da... da..."
The sound of footsteps sounded in the dark corridor, and every step seemed to step on Lin Yi's heart.
With the sound of footsteps, these inhuman units disappeared quickly as if they had met their nemesis, retreating into the mist like a tide.
The mist enveloped Mao Feiyang again, and he looked at the beam of light in the mist in horror. For some reason, he felt a slight sense of peace of mind.
Body in darkness, heart toward light.
Perhaps this is the desire of all normal creatures for light.
Lin Yi suddenly realized that the water stain under his butt disappeared, and the slippery moss-covered stone at his hand also disappeared...
His hand turned into the floor again, but "his" pants were still wet. "His" hands also seemed to be stained with some moss...
But these were not important for the time being. His eyes followed Mao Feiyang to the beam of light, and to the footsteps that echoed in the dark corridor like "ta... da... da...".
The figure was getting closer and closer to him. The scene was like a survey team coming to rescue him with a strong flashlight in a dusty collapsed cave.
It wasn't until the footsteps came in front of him that Lin Yi saw the other party's appearance clearly.
Leave aside the fact that he was carrying an old kerosene lamp, this was a young man who looked about the same age as them, with dyed yellow hair and wearing a somewhat dirty jacket.
His face was pale, his lips were purple, and there were two black eyebands on his face. He looked very haggard. He had not slept for an unknown number of days.
Lin Yi noticed that the young man himself was trembling. He was obviously holding an old kerosene lamp in his hand but was very scared. It gave people the feeling that he was very timid but still relied on the old kerosene lamp to be brave enough to venture into a haunted house.
He slowly walked up to Mao Feiyang, bent down, and put the old kerosene lamp in front of Mao Feiyang.
"Please... show me your student ID card."
He summoned up the courage and asked with a trembling voice.
It wasn't until he was shrouded in the light of the old kerosene lamp that the fear in Mao Feiyang's heart was dispelled a little. When he heard the other party asked about the student ID card, his mind was still a little hazy.
He tried hard to recall the things related to the student ID card mentioned in the student code, but he suddenly realized a problem: "I... don't have a student ID card."
The young man's eyes fluctuated obviously: "Then... please show me... the student commemorative coin?"
"Student commemorative coin?" Mao Feiyang's mind became increasingly confused.
A somewhat familiar name, as if I’ve seen it somewhere.
Oh, by the way...it's still about student regulations.
"Isn't that thing... not allowed to be purchased?" His eyes were blank, "I don't have it..."
The young man took a half step back, his eyes frightened and alert, and he protected the old kerosene lamp in front of him: "Are you a sports student... or an art student?"
Mao Feiyang shook his head: "I just entered school today...I didn't get anything."
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then muttered something like "If you meet a student who does not meet the above conditions", then he looked at Mao Feiyang, took a deep breath, and said, "Do you want to find an art teacher?"
Mao Feiyang's eyes lit up, as if he was grasping a life-saving straw for a drowning man: "Yes, yes, I want to find an art teacher!"
"Then you come with me." The young man took a deep breath, lifted up his jacket, and revealed a chain tied around his waist.
"You grabbed the chain with one hand and put one hand on my shoulder, and then followed me with your eyes closed. You can't open your eyes until I tell you, "You can open your eyes. Do you understand?"
Mao Feiyang shouldn't trust anyone, but the other person was holding an old kerosene lamp in his hand. Although it looked very unreliable,...he had no other choice but to trust the person in front of him.
"Okay, okay...I'll follow you, I'll follow you..." Mao Feiyang almost lost the ability to think. He quickly got up, grabbed the piece of iron chain, and put his hand on the young man's body.
The young man took a deep breath, stepped forward, and then walked to the door of dormitory No. 2819. He stretched out his hand... and knocked on the door of the dormitory.
ˆ “Are you all asleep?”
ˆ “…”
ˆ Dormitory No. 2819, which was originally restless, suddenly became deathly silent.
"Just fall asleep." The young man said to himself, stretched out his hand to hold the door handle of dormitory No. 2819, and pressed it lightly.
「Click!」
With a soft sound, all the locks in the door seemed to have failed, and he opened it on the spot.
Just when the young man was about to open the door, he suddenly thought of something.
"Close your eyes."
"Ah...oh...okay." Mao Feiyang quickly closed his eyes.
"Remember, close it tightly. No matter what you hear, never, never open it, unless I call you personally."
"I...how do I know it's really you who said it?"
"You will know."
The young man opened the door after speaking.
When Mao Feiyang closed his eyes, Lin Yi's vision also turned dark, but Lin Yi was still deep in shock.
Mao Feiyang didn’t know who he met, but Lin Yi did.
"The dormitory manager! That's definitely the dormitory manager!"
The dormitory rules 2 "Special Situation Edition" says, "There is a light in the hand of the security guard or the dormitory manager. This light is the only factor to identify their identity. 】
And as long as you stay with the dormitory manager, the "safety state" will not be broken!
So it is obvious that Mao Feiyang was able to reach the art building because the dormitory took him there. This thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind quickly.
After it was clear that there was no problem with Mao Feiyang's safety, another strong question arose in Lin Yi's mind: "How did Mao Zi get there?"
"Is there another 'non-existent road', like the stairwell that connects the teaching building and the dormitory building, connecting here with... the art building?"
At this moment, as the dormitory manager opened the door of dormitory No. 2819, an extremely pungent fishy smell came from the crack in the door and penetrated his nostrils fiercely.
This smell is really overpowering, as if a piece of wood rotting in the sea was buried in a mud pit filled with smelly fish and shrimps for a long time, and then hung up in the dormitory.
When the wind blows, the smell of corpses that seems to be wafting from hell immediately makes people feel what life is like.
"Are you all asleep...?" The dormitory warden was patrolling the dormitory with an old kerosene lamp, and the whole dormitory was full of rustling sounds.
Lin Yi can't see anything, he can only hear and "brain the scene".
Then he heard the dormitory manager stop and lower his voice: "You... don't seem to be from this dormitory, are you?"
There was a large "rustling" sound in the dormitory, like countless insects crawling in the sand. Lin Yi judged through hearing that these things were probably moving against the wall, as if they were avoiding the inspection of the dormitory manager.
He felt a great sense of oppression, as if he had accidentally fallen into a sewer and been surrounded by rats, but the warm light cast by the old kerosene lamp gave him a sense of safety.
The dormitory manager gently patted Lin Yi's hand, not sure whether he was comforting Lin Yi or comforting himself: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
His body and voice were obviously trembling, so Lin Yi always felt that this dormitory manager was very strange.
The dormitory manager started to move, so he followed him, and based on his judgment of the dormitory, he deduced that the dormitory manager had arrived at the window.
He felt a gust of wind blowing in from outside the window, and there was also the faint sound of running water and waves, as well as the sound of breaking wind caused by unknown objects falling rapidly outside the window...
But soon the dormitory manager closed the window, and then went to the bathroom to close the last window in the dormitory.
After all the windows were closed, the only connection between the world outside the windows and the dormitory was severed.
Then, the dormitory manager stopped in the middle of the dormitory.
Through sensing the temperature changes, Lin Yi felt that the dormitory tube should have lifted up the old kerosene lamp.
I don’t know how long the dormitory manager has been holding the old kerosene lamp, but the rustling sounds in the dormitory became less and less, and eventually disappeared.
The dormitory manager took Lin Yi out of dormitory No. 2819 with Lin Yi, then turned around and entered dormitory No. 2820 in the same way...
The dormitory manager carried an old kerosene lamp and took Mao Feiyang from dormitory to dormitory.
Throughout the process, Lin Yi could clearly feel the changes in the heartbeat of the host. He seemed to be more afraid than anyone else. His body was getting colder and colder, and he was shaking more and more violently.
Later, he numbly repeated the process of checking the dormitory like a walking zombie until he finished checking the dormitory "2839", left and closed the door.
Then, he continued to walk, but Lin Yi felt something in his heart.
There are 39 dormitories on each floor of the dormitory building, and Dormitory No. 1 and Dormitory No. 39 are adjacent, but at this time the dormitory manager seemed to be taking him to a location between dormitory No. 39 and Dormitory No. 1...
"Is it the dormitory room? Is there a road leading to the art building in the dormitory room?" Just as Lin Yi was conjecturing, there was a familiar sound of wind in front of him.
Soon, a sound of "Clang...cang!" came from in front of me.
Lin Yi was shocked: "It's an elevator!"
The dormitory manager took Mao Feiyang into the elevator.
For some reason, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a hint of disappointment in his heart.
If the dormitory manager had checked the dormitory, then took Mao Feiyang out of the dormitory in the elevator, and took him to the art building... Although it sounded very reasonable, but... I don't know why, but Lin Yi always felt a sense of disparity in his heart that was not in line with his expectations.
Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little strange. He should obviously hope that the campus is normal, shouldn't he?
Why does he feel that it shouldn't be so safe when the logic seems normal?
He couldn't help but shake his head, thinking about what kind of sadism he was asking for...
But the next operation of the dormitory told him - you are right.
He heard the sound of a flipping cover, and then the supervisor seemed to slam down a button.
"Huh?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned. This did not seem to be the sound of pressing the elevator floor.
He thought about the elevator buttons, and suddenly remembered that there was a "↑" button covered by a cover at the top of the button row.
"Could it be that the dormitory manager just opened the cover and pressed the "↑" button?"
Lin Yi felt that his guess should be correct, because as the elevator door closed, the entire elevator began a continuous acceleration process.
